How much energy⚡️ does a #microswimmer need to move? Scientists from MPI-DS now developed a theorem to design efficiently moving microswimmers. This opens the door for many practical applications in drug delivery and molecular transport. 💊🚚 Living Matter Physics ds.mpg.de/4028703/231012…

Congratulations to the American Physical Society 2024 Lars Onsager Prize recipient, Jacques Prost PCC CNRS 🌍. This prize recognizes outstanding research in theoretical statistical physics including the quantum fluids.

Fluids with odd viscosity break time reversal symmetry and the Lorentz reciprocal theorem is violated. We found a surprisingly simple way of restoring it. With Yuto Hosaka and Ramin Golestanian from Living Matter Physics, just out in Physical Review Letters [Editors' Suggestion] journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

Nice commentary about our paper:

A new model from the department Living Matter Physics Living Matter Physics at MPI-DS extends the Lorentz theorem to fluids with broken symmetries. 💔 This now allows to explore such systems in further detail: ds.mpg.de/4035034/231127…

Very much looking forward to meet many great colleagues and feeling honoured to present at the Gordon Research Conferences on Cytoskeletal Motors in July 2024.

Exciting news! Our latest paper in PNASNews explores entropy production in coarse-grained nonequilibrium systems using a method called "milestoning". Check it out here: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… #statphys #entropy #PNAS

How efficient is propulsion by interfacial surface tension gradients? Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider, Ramin Golestanian & Andrej Vilfan derive an analytical theorem for the minimum dissipation, placing Marangoni surfers among the most efficient microswimmers. doi.org/10.1017/jfm.20…
